2023 Pinot Gris Estate – Yamhill-Carlton AVA
40-Year-Old Vines | Terraced Hillside Block | Dry-Farmed | Citrus. Stone. Clarity.
A bright, clean white from 40-year-old dry-farmed vines—this is Oregon Pinot Gris at its most expressive and food-friendly.
Planted in 1986 and farmed without irrigation ever since, Kramer Vineyards’ estate Pinot Gris vines have weathered decades of Oregon’s climatic ups and downs. In 2023, nature offered a more balanced rhythm—warm, dry, and steady—allowing for an early September harvest with beautifully developed fruit. This Pinot Gris was fermented and aged in stainless steel to showcase its natural vibrancy. At just 0.1 g/L residual sugar and 13.5% alcohol, it’s a clean, dry white with precision and poise. Expect aromas of Meyer lemon, green pear, and white peach with a subtle floral lift. The palate is crisp and linear, driven by citrus zest, orchard fruit, and a hint of saline minerality. A bright finish lingers with refreshing energy. Perfect for picnics, seafood, or just keeping a chilled bottle on hand—this is classic Oregon Pinot Gris done right.
A dry, mineral-driven white from 40-year-old estate vines—just $18.
